Don't you need a new hive too?
that Dr. Witchy huge tomato is because of fused blossoms. It is actually two tomatoes that grew together because their blossoms were fused. Just an FYI. If you don't want fused tomatoes, you would need to watch your blooms and remove those that are fused.
You've done a fabulous job and I'm glad you give yourself some grace! Nice work!
I have seen some homesteaders harvest and freeze their excess produce in big bags so they can pull it out and can it after the bulk of harvest is over. I had never thought of that myself, so thought I'd pass it on to you. Keep up the good work! I enjoy your channel very much!!
I loved watching your girls scratch in the garden. Perfection!
What are the specs of your garden/beds?
Would you consider trying the "no dig gardening" method? Maybe one bed to try it out? There are tons of benefits including reducing weeds.
Excellent
I'm loving g your garden.
I love your videos. I just recently cleaned up my basil bush. It was so huge and beautiful and it attracted lots of bees.❤️ But I cut off most of the branches and left just two to grow.
I just recently found your channel and I enjoy watching your content! You have a good learning attitude 🙂
I keep a calendar of when I start seeds, when they should be transplanted, and days until harvest, and when seeds/ plants for a fall garden should be started. This helps me with planning and not losing focus on the garden side of things when I’m busy with the preserving and other duties of homestead life 🙂
Keep up your good work and thanks for sharing!
I wish I had a place to grow a garden. You are doing great!
Oh dear, You seem so stressed out. Your chickens can work for you before planting and after harvesting. Please watch Justin Rhodes, also Roots and Refuge on YouTube. I think you may need to organize your beds based on harvest time. After harvest let your chickens peck through the area. You may need a small amount of moveable fencing. The chickens can keep your pests down AND build the soil. But you don't want to give them free rein to destroy what you haven't harvested. If you have too much to harvest and process yourself, consider partnering with another local homestead or your neighbors. Let them pick and take it, making sure they know what is OK to take and what is not. Homesteaders are all about community. You could trade some of the harvest for some of the work or advice. You really can't do it all yourself. Or just plant a smaller garden next year. If you don't have time to walk your garden daily, it's too big. Composting in place is not a good idea if there are pests and disease. Your garden should be a pleasant place, a haven, refuge, sanctuary. Breathe…..
Straw bed stuff, is your supplier knowledgable?, some straw is treated on fields and is no good for eco gardening.
It is hilarious how comfortable the chickens are around you. They follow you around like dogs, you must be a kind gardener. Well done.
On your Brussels sprouts strip your stalk down completely naked from all the leaves. (This broke my heart when I did mine but then I was amazed) Cover with a bucket for 2 weeks and then surprise you will have tons of Brussels sprouts! Learned this from an old time gardener friend.
I just found your Chanel and I love it! I love that you show real life I can’t wait to see what more you have out!!! Also I love your hair!!
the garden looks great it should look like that and your not alone
been take a lot of work
i would just reach out to a local bee person like do and let put a hive close to my garden and they give fresh honey from them
well because I do a hoop house on the top of my raised beds garden I get plant early and harvest late I do harvest in 2 time a year then I don't have do it all at once
Love hearing the chickens in the background.
Hi Becky! I LOVE your videos!! I am also in my second year gardening-zone 6b. Please give yourself some grace because you are ROCKING it girl! You've given me SO much motivation and have eased my mind with learning how to cook, meal prep, and canning. I've only started with fermenting so far, but I will get there! Keep it up motivator 😀 PS I'm excited to start with Azure as there is a local drop in my very small town. The organization will be on the horizon for me as I hate running out of things and prefer to be prepared
I grew blue lake and jade 2 green beans. The jade were significantly more tasty but didn’t make as many beans…. Got to find a happy medium.
Prefer rabbits no problem with compost. It’s considered a cold compost without salmonella outbreaks.
I know you like celery root but if you want more celery just cut the tops off and the celery will grow back
Haha… I wish I had your climat and the garden… You dont have time its meens that you have a big production in the garden… You have your girls to engoy the rest of it… Juist be happy you have it al
